If the law allows you can carry in plain sight; but with all the cell phones calling 911, expect some interesting discussions with the local LEOs. KY has a law which prevents local govmts. from banning what the state makes legal. However, I do not think open carry in most cities and towns would be worth the hassle. CCW with out a permit might cause you to lose the right to get one, if you get caught. Justified self-defense would probably not protect you from a weapons charge. JMHO
